Pros:- + Good location - Dickensen Bay is a beautiful beach suited to the younger person, offering numerous watersports, bars and other activities. + Friendly staff + The beach-area around the hotel was practically deserted - great time of the year to visit. Cons:- - Food is terrible. Do not go all-inclusive, instead eat at the fabulous restaurants around the... More

A wonderful relaxing resort, the Hotel could do with a little touch up, but our second visit and the staff were just as fantastic as they were last year. They were busy but always had the time to assist you in anyway. Charm's fire dance entertainment was fantastic, we want to big up Allick and Errol, great music at the... More

An absolutely amazing holiday. All staff were very welcoming and friendly. Special mention to Errol, Fenton, Devon, Heather, Roxanne and Quinton. Although all the staff were attentive and approachable. Felt very relaxed the whole time, certainly had the best part of the beach outside the resort. Warri pier was a lovely addition to the resort! Would not hesitate to take... More

The Rex is a bit dated, but clean and staff we great. Food was fine, not a huge selection, but everything tasted very good. The beach in front of the Rex is great and there are a lot of photo opportunities. Bar staff is excellent and treated me like a king! I took a day trip to Barbuda and walked... More

A friend and I stayed at Rex Halcyon Cove in September 2012 for two weeks. The hotel could do with a make over as it is dated, that said, we had a very relaxed and enjoying holiday. We were bed & breakfast and enjoyed the variety although a bit repetitive if you are staying for more than a week. Eating... More

We were supposed to be booked into Halcyon Cove starting 11th May 2013 for 2 weeks, but have found out through the grapevine that it will be closed mid-May to mid-July, and after phoning Virgin for clarification, we are being accomodated at Hawksbill instead. Very, very disappointed at this late non-notification of change, which I think is a down-grade. Will... More

This was my 3rd visit to the Halcyon, and I must say...just as fantastic as always! Food is fantastic, Dale is an amazing chef, and for a night out and about, he owns a little pub/bar called The Palms that is not far from Sandals. The staff is like staff nowhere else, friendly, cheery, always full of compliments! Kema is... More
